[TR] 65 TR4 Distributor issue

[Lee&John Howard]

Right - the clamp was tweaked and I've tried to straighten it out.  But,
with Randall's help, I've determined that the dog on the dist. is 180 off.
When I've done that the shaft should sit down snugly with the rotor pointed
at #1 and the clamp should work OK. At least i hope so.
Thanks, Hardy, for your input.
